About Our Company...

Turtlewood Palettes is a small business located in the town of Thompson's Station, Tennessee. We have been making palettes for the last ten years and we strive to make our palettes so that they are comfortable for the artist to use. We use only the highest quality wood products for our palettes. Our Pro Series palettes are made of 1/8" triple ply Russian Baltic Birch and have a streamline counterweight that provides a comfortable and well balanced palette for the artist to hold. Each palette is handcrafted, balance checked, sanded, finished and inspected by wood artisan Michael Balsley to ensure that each palette is of the highest quality. Our palette finish is not compatible with water based paints. Turtlewood Palettes are lightweight and make painting easier for the artist. Artists can use the palette as a value gauge and a color guide to help aid them in their painting.
